I look for joy in a strange place in the back of the bar from afar I see the look on my momma's face when her son's in the corner undone She says that my life is over But boy you don't know what you got till it's gone Come put your head upon my shoulder She gave me her hand but I ignored her oh Dr. John What am I doing When I'm wrong Cause I Keep on trying... Something ain't going, something ain't going on Oh Dr John I look for joy in a strange place from the back of the bar From afar I see the look on my Daddy's face When his son's fallen over, undone Well father my life is over Well I didn't know what I had now it's gone Can I lay my head upon your shoulder If I fall asleep will it be over... Oh Dr John What am I doing When I'm wrong Cause I Keep on trying... Something ain't going, something ain't going on Oh Dr John What am I doing When I am wrong Cause I keep on trying Something ain't going, something ain't going on They say I'm a big heartbreaker But doctor I've never hurt ya It isn't that obvious? Oh Dr John What am I doing When I'm wrong Cause I keep on trying Something ain't going, something ain't going on Oh Dr John I keep on trying You're not alone You're not alone Oh Dr John You're not alone You're not alone
